 INTRODUCTION

 UNPACKING

Every VMS4.1 has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating condition. Care-

fully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If the carton 

appears to be damaged, carefully inspect your player for any damage and be sure all equipment 

necessary to operate the player has arrived intact. In the event damage has been found or parts are 

missing, please contact our toll free customer support number for further instructions. Please do not 

return the player to your dealer without first contacting customer support.

Please be sure to make any connections before plugging the player in to an electrical outlet. All fader 

and volume controls should be set to zero or minimum position, before the player is switched on. If the 

player has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch 

on the player immediately. The arising condensation of water might damage your device. Leave the 

device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
Operating Determinations:

•  When installing this player, please make sure that the device is not exposed or will not be ex- 

 

  posed to extreme heat, moisture or dust!

•  Do not operate the player in extremely hot (more than 40°/104°F) or extremely cold (less than  

 

  5°C/40°F) surroundings. 

•  Keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heaters.

•  Operate the player only after becoming familiar with its' functions. Do not permit operation by  

 

  persons not qualified for operating the unit. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation.
